Whassup My Nappy Headed Hos!

Well, Don Imus has done it. The mumbling fool has once again proven, completely unwittingly of course, that there are just some things that you cannot say without drawing the ire of so-called leaders of a particular group (any group) unless you are a member of that group.

What's that? Double standard? Oh no. You don't understand. It's not a double standard. It's a carefully constructed redistribution of responsibility. This alleviates people decreed as special from being held to the same standards to which others are held. All this is done by establishing fluid and nebulous rules determined by the self proclaimed protectors of said group.

Case and point? Don Imus is being lynched by the likes of charlatans named Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton over the use of the term "Nappy-Headed Hos" to describe women on the Rutgers basketball team. Now remember, these are two men who brought us insults like "Hymietown" and acts like the burning of Freddy's Fashion Mart as defended "political speech". Al Sharpton has the gall to deride Imus for trying to be hip and using slang prevalent in certain segments of society? Jesse Jackson has the nerve to call the term insensitive? Give me a break. Sure it was a crude term but for these two to be lecturing Imus is like the pot calling the kettle (excuse the pun) black.

Honestly, I think these two race-baiters should be auditioning for a career doing standup at the Apollo rather than asking to be taken seriously considering their own pasts.

As for Imus? Remember this is the same guy who said that rather than belonging in Playboy, Venus and Serena Williams should be in National Geographic. And he pretty much did that with impunity I might add. Hey Imus, next time stick to only picking on those folks of darker complexion that Al and Jesse have approved to be picked on ok? I'm sure they can provide you an list of people like ... well Condoleezza Rice. It's ok to call her Aunt Jemima and mock her as bumbling fool muttering about aluminum tubes right?

Heck firing Don Imus for saying what he said is like hiring a stripper and then firing her because she dared to take her clothes off.
